With 15 years in the business, I realized that the best agents are a great trial attorney and physician rolled into one. You have to have the negotiating skills and contract knowledge to powerfully advocate for your clients, but you also need the bedside manner and deep expertise to communicate effectively and provide expert recommendations you can trust in fast moving situations. As a mother of 5 kids, this has become a part of who I am as I apply these attributes daily professionally and personally. Effective communication, transparency, a genuine care and understanding of you and your real estate goals is my priority as your agent.
